<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Technology Adoption Roadmap for Midsize Enterprises 2022-2024</h2>



<ul>
<li>Gartner Report Technology Adoption Roadmap for Midsize Enterprises 2022-2024More than 400 MSE&#8217;s interviewed (<a href="https://www.gartner.com/en/information-technology/trends/technology-adoption-roadmap-for-midsize-enterprises-pd">gartner.com</a>)</li>



<li>53 technologies were mapped to adoption stage (pilot, deployed 2022, deploy in 2023), value and risk</li>



<li>Value was determined by looking at the following factors
<ul>
<li>Increasing cost efficiency</li>



<li>Improving speed and agility</li>



<li>Enabling resilience</li>



<li>Enhancing employee productivity</li>
</ul>
</li>



<li>Deployment risk
<ul>
<li>Cybersecurity risks</li>



<li>Implementation cost</li>



<li>Talent availability</li>



<li>Vendor supply chain disruption</li>



<li>Geopolitical risks</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Key Takeaways</h2>



<ul>
<li>Cybersecurity
<ul>
<li>Investments prioritized in (M)anaged (D)etection and (R)response &#8211; this to deal with the growing threat of digital risks including things like ransomware</li>



<li>(S)ecure (A)ccess (S)ervice (E)dge is gaining traction for moving away from hardware based security solutions to cloud based security services</li>



<li>(Z)ero (T)rust (N)etwork (A)ccess is being evaluated to replace VPNs</li>
</ul>
</li>



<li>Future work environments
<ul>
<li>Investments are being made in hybrid and remote work environments over collaboration and productivity tools
<ul>
<li>Deployment of cloud security tools being prioritized to enable more security hybrid and remote work environments</li>



<li>DIstributed cloud systems and cloud storage are also being prioritized</li>
</ul>
</li>



<li>(C)itizen (A)utomation and (D)evelopment (P)latforms are also being investigated to allow business users to leverage low-code services to help speed business decisions</li>



<li>NLP &#8211; Natural Language Processing appears to be something that businesses want to adopt but are falling behind on plans to deploy due to some challenges
<ul>
<li>Accuracy in language translation</li>



<li>Even though NLP has come a LONG way in the past couple years, the human language is still a very challenging problem to solve</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
</li>



<li>Productivity and Operation Efficiency
<ul>
<li>Experimenting with Enhanced Internet (<a href="https://www.cdsglobalcloud.com/enhanced-internet/">cdsglobalcloud.com</a>)</li>
</ul>



<ul>
<li>Investing in AI and Data Science and Machine Learning to help observe infrastructure across on-prem, cloud and edge computing
<ul>
<li>Comes with high deployment risks but still very highly adopted</li>
</ul>
</li>



<li>Investments in 5g for larger demand of networking</li>



<li>Investments in API management PaaS
<ul>
<li>One of the problems here is talent shortages in this area of expertise (<a href="https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/products/api-management">azure.microsoft.com</a>)</li>
</ul>
</li>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Tip of the Week</h2>



<ul>
<li>Have a presentation to do? Slidev is a VueJs and markdown-based way to create slides. Because it&#8217;s web based you can do cool interactive type stuff, and it&#8217;s portable. Bonus: recording and camera view support built in. Thanks Dave! (<a href="https://sli.dev/">sli.dev</a>)</li>



<li>There are a lot of great resources for Kubernetes on the official Kubernetes Certifications and Training page (<a href="https://kubernetes.io/training/">kubernetes.io</a>)</li>



<li>Notes in iOS are pretty good now! Did you know you can use it for inline images, videos, along with note taking…. (<a href="https://youtu.be/1vwx_-JvOks">youtube.com</a>)</li>



<li>Use Docker? Check out dive, it&#8217;s a tool for exploring a docker image, layer contents, and discovering ways to shrink the size of your Docker/OCI image. (<a href="https://github.com/wagoodman/dive">github.com</a>)</li>
